Famous Nigerian rapper Folarin Falana, better known by his stage name Falz, trended on Twitter on Thursday after he called on fellow artistes to stop glorifying internet scammers and fraudsters.
In an interview with Hip Tv, Falz asked entertainers as role models to stop glorifying fraudsters in their songs.
“You are a role model to the younger ones and you are hailing fraudsters, you are making the younger ones feel it is good to do it. Stop it! It is destroying our future,” he said.

Falz spoke the absolute truth…only people who indulge in illegal activities will publicly come out to bash him.

Falz isn’t “coming” for anyone. He made a valid point about how hailing thieves sets a wrong impression. But as usual we kill the messenger
